But he tips his hand by referring to the world wide Anglican community: they already stand at the edge of schism, and he doesn’t want to go down in history as the one who tipped them over that edge.

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:53:23 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-419249What he really means is that second-class marriage i.e. civil partnership, is good enough for second-class citizens i.e. LGBT people. This sounds like just the sort of irrational and indefensible argument I heard growing up in South Africa during the apartheid era!

When the worst thing has already happened, losing the one person you loved most in the world, then you either crumble or become sort of fearless. I’m hanging-in here for a while.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:07:09 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-419043Well the Archbishops could start employing gay bishops, he could allow the civil registration of CPs in Anglican churchs….No, the Anglican church does nothing, the CofE doesn’t accept CPs so I’m not expecting it to accept SSM.

As for the 1 million Anglicans in the UK (a much lower figure than we were told by the Tories MPs who said more than 60% of us were Anglicans) then why should I care what they think of SSM.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:16:21 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-418853“I think that the problem with the gay marriage proposals is that they don’t actually include people equally, it’s called equal marriage, but the proposals in the Bill don’t do that. I think that where there is.”

“I understand why people want that to be strengthened and made more dignified, somehow more honourable in a good way. It’s not the same as marriage.”

Gibberish. Does anyone on here have a clue what this prattling primate actually means? I’m stumped for one.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:58:43 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-418848The demo against equal marriage will play into the hands of bigoted opponents who won’t be there that theirs is the majority view across the UK. Meanwhile, we won’t be countering it. The BBC will I’m sure give more than wide coverage. It’s all part of the opposition’s m.o. to thwart equal marriage in the Lords because there are many just like them sitting there.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:57:55 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-418846If he recognises that the love between people of the same-sex is as “no less” than heterosexual couple then he is a massive hypocrite for not supporting marriage equally.

He just wants to make excuses for his flock to openly discriminate against. He is as shameful as all the other bigoted religious leader.

What do they fear from a better, stable society? They fear the loss of control… then accuse all governments of democratically voting for equal marriage.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:35:28 +0000http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=35300#comment-418833Equality comes at a price, and if two people love each other whether they are of same gender or not, in a modern society the church should help to strengthen those relationships in Marriage. No doubt Justin Welby will be demonstrating on 24th March with the french who are coming to the UK to demonstrate against SSM.
